Sterling Circle Records strives to match this shining purity in the quality of music  we are producing, by trusting the talent and instincts of the artists behind that music. We seek purity of sound by listening, and by giving artists freedom to express themselves spontaneously. The music comes out of the spirit and collaboration of the session, with little post-production.

We invite your participation in a community of unique individuals with diverse interests. An interactive community we’re building with podcasts, intimate concerts, a website and more.
